The crash of the vase echoed through the room. Shards scattered across the polished floor, glinting in the pale afternoon light. Jace stood in the middle of his office, his chest rising and falling rapidly as if he’d just run a marathon. His knuckles were clenched so tightly his skin nearly split, and when his fist slammed against the edge of the tempered glass desk, a long crack slithered across its surface like lightning.

He pressed the black bell fixed to the panelled wall. The muted chime sounded, and moments later, Karen. The tension hit her immediately she stepped in; she didn’t need anyone to tell her to tread carefully.

“Sir… the desk,” she began softly, glancing at the fractured glass. This wasn’t the first time

    Sky couldn’t let her brother see her like this. If Michael saw her, he’d ask questions, and she wasn’t ready to give him any answers.“Michael, it’s late.” She called softly, feigning a yawn and wrapping her shawl tighter around her shoulders even though he couldn’t see her from outside. “Just drop it in the mailbox. I’ve already gone to bed.”Her voice was a practiced, lazy tone. From the upstairs window, Sky watched him lean casually against his car.“Uh, okay,” Eric answ

    The ride back to the house was silent. Jace’s hands were tight on the steering wheel as he sped through the dimly lit streets of San Francisco. The night air outside was crisp, but inside the car, tension thickened every breath.Beside him, Sky tried to fill the silence with nervous words, her voice trembling each time she spoke.“Jace, I’m sorry.” She said softly, her fingers twisting in her lap. “I swear I didn’t know Michael was going to bring that up tonight. I’ll talk to my father tomorrow. I promise.”

    “Oh my God, you scared me!” Tessa gasped, stumbling slightly as her fingers lost their grip on the iron rail.“You were thinking about the date you missed?” Haley teased lightly, her voice soft but amused.“You actually scared me, Haley,” Tessa repeated, pressing a hand to her chest to steady her heartbeat.Haley tilted her head with that mischievous smirk she always wore when she wanted to make someone laugh.“Why were you startled then? Only two kinds of people jump like that. People hiding terrible secrets, and those sinking into the deep pit of depression. Which one are you, huh? The second, I guess?” She broke into laughter, and Tessa, despite herself, joined in as Haley’s fingers attacked her ribs in a playful tickle.For a moment, their laughter drifted into the cool evening air, floating over the terrace of the Bellamy residence.Tessa turned to face her friend, finally noticing t

    Eden stiffened the moment Kyrell told her she would be heading back to San Francisco by the weekend. His voice was calm but carried a weight that made her chest tighten. Her mind stuttered, caught somewhere between disbelief and panic. How could he have known what happened at Haley’s house so fast?She stood there, her hands limp at her sides, staring at him as though trying to pull answers from his face.Kyrell gently wrapped his arms around her waist, lowering his head to rest on her shoulder. He began to sway slowly, guiding her body into the soft, rhythmic motion as if they

    The streets of San Francisco blurred past the window, neon lights and dim streetlamps blending into one long stream of gold and grey.No one spoke. Haley simply held her son close, his tiny fingers curled into her blouse as if he, too, sensed that something bad had happened tonight.When they finally pulled up at the Bellamy estate, the tall iron gates opened silently, and Kennedy guided the SUV into the wide circular driveway. Gretchen slipped out first, gently wrapping her arm around Haley’s shoulder as they entered the house. Tessa followed behind, carrying Kyrell carefully.Two housemaids waited at the entrance, already aware of the situation. Kennedy handed the chauffeur his car keys and gave instructions to bring in the bags.“Do you want anything to eat, sweetheart? I’ll have the kitchen whip something up immediately.” Gretchen offered, her tone laced with the kind of care that only came from years of nurturing.&ldqu

    Jace leaned against the edge of his desk, his gaze drifting absently through the windows of his office. His mind was somewhere else, buried in the mess he’d made.He had lifted the blinds earlier so the room wouldn’t feel so damn suffocating, but even the breeze did nothing to ease the weight on his chest. His hands were shoved into the pockets of his trousers, jaw tight, shoulders set.The drive back from Haley’s house had been silent, a silence so heavy it had become a scream in his head. He couldn’t shake the guilt this time. What he had done wasn’t something he could just shrug off with a drink. No, this time, he had crossed a line he shouldn’t have.When he’d walked into the house with the men, he wasn’t expecting the nursery to shake him the way it did. But then he saw Kyrell. Tiny. Peaceful. Innocent. And something in him cracked.He had originally planned to make Haley feel unsafe, to make her understand that eyes were on her every second. He want
